Joshua Mason broke into the Flow Youth Pro League 2017 scoring chart with a handful of goals last Sunday as Defence Force Under-13s registered a lopsided 12-0 win over their Morvant Caledonia United counterparts at Trinity East ground in Trincity.
The triumph snapped a two-game winless spell for the Defence Force U13s, who now have a record of 2W-1D-L, and, perhaps, inspired a 9-0 win for their Under-15s over Morvant Caledonia.
But both victories weren’t enough to spur on the Defence Force Under-17s who later fell 6-2 against the visitors despite second half goals from Joshua Ashton and Joshua Evans.
Ackeem Mason and Trevis Byron had given Morvant Caledonia U17s a two-goal cushion in the first half, netting a minute apart, before a second-half double by Dwight Yorke—his second from the penalty spot—followed by a goal each from Malik Mieres and Ethan Bonaparte quelled the hosts attempt of a comeback.
Defence Force remains without a win after four games in the U17 division and just one point, while Morvant Caledonia have six points from three games.
Morvant Caledonia, however, have lost all three outings in the U13 and U15 age groups with last Sunday being another struggle at the park and Defence Force showing no mercy against their counterparts.
Terral Gibson, who ended with a hat-trick for the Defence Force U13s, scored in the first minute of play before wrapping up the scoring with two late goals.
But Joshua Mason, with his goals in the 4th, 18th, 30th, 43rd and 50th minutes, was the star of the morning while team-mates Christopher Brooks, Jaden Seifert, Ethan Marquez and Jaheim O’Brady had a goal each.
Justin Araujo Wilson later led the Defence Force U15s with a first-half hat-trick, taking his tally this season to six goals in four games. Marc Wharfe also grabbed a hat-trick and Aiden Marcano a double before Nicholas Smith capped the 9-0 victory.
Elsewhere last Sunday, San Juan Jabloteh, champions of all divisions in the last two seasons, defeated St. Ann’s Rangers 4-0 and 3-1 in the U13 and U15 divisions, respectively, at San Juan North Secondary. But the young “San Juan Kings” dropped points for the first time this season after they were held to agoalless stalemate against the visitors in the U17 division.
North East Stars snatched full points in all divisions by default over hosts Central FC, while W Connection defeated Police FC 1-0 and 2-0 in the U15 and U17 divisions, respectively, at Gilbert Park after losing 3-0 against the U13 leaders—Police.
Club Sando hosted Point Fortin Civic at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium training field and enjoyed a 4-0 win over the visitors in the U13 division, but were defeated 4-1 in the U15s before both sides played to a 3-3 draw in the U17s.
